KENNETH HILL JOINS NGLTF DEVELOPMENT STAFF

Washington, D.C., May 7, 1992...Kenneth Hill became the newest addition to the
National Gay and Lesbian Task Force Policy Institute development staff when he
came on board last month as Director of Special Projects. Hill brings with him
proven expertise in public relations and event management.  

	Formerly an account executive with a Washington-based public affairs firm, Hill
designed and produced conferences and special events.  He also managed diverse
accounts involving international relations, celebrity handling, protocol, media
promotion and publicity. 

	As Director of Special Projects, Hill will design and produce more than
two-dozen annual fundraising events that NGLTF hosts nationwide.  In addition,
he will oversee NGLTF's new-member activities and will coordinate its
participation in gay and lesbian Pride festivities around the country.  Special
events and the membership campaign account for 22 percent of NGLTF's 1992 budget
of $1.3 million.  Combined, they are the second largest income source for the
organization after membership renewals.

	Hill developed a commitment to the gay and lesbian movement as a founding
member and president of the Gay and Lesbian Student Union at the University of
Nevada-Reno.  When he and a group of other students formed the organization and
applied for university funding in 1985, a conservative faction of the student
senate created an anti-gay rights controversy that lasted for weeks and spilled
over into the community at large and city newspaper editorials.  Despite those
difficulties, the student group soon was 100 members strong -- and
university-funded.

	"Working full-time in the gay and lesbian movement has long been a dream of
mine," said Hill.  "I embrace the opportunity to use whatever talents I have to
help promote the work of NGLTF and the rights of gay people everywhere."

	Hill resides in northwest Washington, D.C., with his spouse, Scott Foster, and
a fat, white cat named Grace.
